BN-97-04-4 (RP-875) -- The Radiant Time Series Cooling Load Calculation Procedure PDF

States the radiant time series method is a new procedure for performing design cooling load calculations, derived from the heat balance method. Claims it effectively replaces all other simplified (non-heat balance) methods. States the method relies on a 24-term response factor series to compute conductive heat gain, and it relies on a 24-term 'radiant time series' to convert instantaneous radiant heat gain to cooling loads. Describes the radiant time series method and the generation of the response factors and the radiant time series coefficients. Presents a brief comparison with the heat balance method.
